Corporate Bits | Ring in the year of the goat with gourmet and delicacies at Wynn Macau

Chinese New Year is about spending quality time with family and loved ones. Wynn Macau’s Michelin-starred signature Chinese restaurants – Golden Flower and Wing Lei – have prepared auspicious menus for the occasion. A selection of traditional festive cakes will also be available for guests. A Chinese New Year menu will be available at Golden Flower and Wing Lei from February 19 to 25. At the Michelin two-star Golden Flower, Master Chef Liu Guo Zhu has created three-course and four-course set menus, together with a range of delicate Lunar New Year dishes, which highlight “Prosperous family”: chicken soup with abalone, fish maw, prawn and sea cucumber; and deep-fried glutinous rice cake in Beijing style. Executive Chef Chan Tak Kwong of the Michelin-starred Wing Lei has designed a Chinese New Year specialty menu, featuring pan-fried jumbo scallops with morel mushrooms in Chinese wine sauce, and marinated goose web and skewer with barbecued pork and goose liver.
For casual Chinese dining, Red 8 will serve traditional Chinese New Year soup and a variety of northern and southern festive dishes. Known for its specialty dishes from the Northern provinces, 99 Noodles will serve Chef’s Lunar New Year specialties.
Festive gatherings will not be complete without traditional Chinese New Year cakes. Four flavors of Chinese New Year cakes are available for sale and collection from February 2 to 18 at the Wing Lei festive counter.
